Vagabond Awareness.

by

by Benjamin White.

The emotional imprints

Of the past

Impact the frequencies

Of the soul

Tuning in dreams

Until previous lives

Are reconnected

To shared experiences

While seeking

The familiarity

Of spirits

Once-and-always touching,

Close and joined

To the point

Of being

The same consciousness,

Although split

By time and space

On the parallels

Of vagabond awareness

Searching itself

Along a journey

To discover

What it already knows

How We Became Mortal.

by

by Brian Griffith. In some ancient myths, the original humans lived in a pristine paradise, knowing neither suffering nor death. A Greek legend holds that the world’s first people were all men, who lived forever in brotherly accord, freely submitting to rule by the gods. The problem of disobedience first arose when a man named […]

What You Hate.

by

by Gregg Winkler. I started playing Wordle around the same time everyone else did. The world was still in the era of Covid, which had racked up millions of deaths. The American Capitol Building in Washington DC had been attacked by its own citizens. And we were all still reeling from the glass-bridge episode of […]

Brush Up Your Shakespeare.

by

by Bruce E.R. Thompson. Lady Mary Sidney Herbert, the Countess of Pembrook, died in 1621. She did not die un-mourned. She was survived by her two sons William and Philip who are remembered today by literary scholars because the plays of William Shakespeare, as they appear in the First Folio, are dedicated to them. Their […]
